FAQ
Why not just use ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is excellent for brainstorming, but it does not know your products, pricing, certifications, or past answers. Without grounding, every response risks hallucinated capabilities or compliance language — a serious risk on a real bid.
Does Bid Responder use ChatGPT under the hood?
Bid Responder uses leading foundation models, but every answer is grounded in your private knowledge base with citations and confidence scores — none of your content is used to train public models.
